HOW IS JONATHAN RAUCH SO AWESOME? I mean, yeah, this isn’t the column I would write about Red Families vs. Blue Families, but it is still so much more focused on the most important issues than approximately 99% of the reviews/articles/responses I’ve read so far, and so completely free from pharisaism . When I went to see him talk about his gay-marriage book he was totally self-overhearing, too, which as you know is one of my absolute most admired traits in any person. It’s just so refreshing to see someone actively avoid opportunities to “charge them for it.”
